Chevron Moons featuring Essie Lounge Lover And Pool Side Service. 

Good Morning Darlings!

I don’t know about where you are, but Spring finally seems to be hitting Halifax! So in honour of that, I’m sharing this mani using a couple of polishes from Essie’s Spring 2016 collection.

 I was at my local Lawtons the other night, and found a huge display of Essie on clearence for $2.54 each… So naturally I bought 6! I couldn’t wait to play around with my new polishes, so I grabbed some vinyls from MyNailsDid and created some Springy chevron moons. 

The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Essie Lounge Lover
  • Essie Pool Side Service
  • Essie Peach Daiquiri
  •  ORLY Scenic Route
  • Essie Gel Setter 
  • MyNailsDid nail vinyls (chevrons)

What’s your favourite Spring 2016 polish so far? I absolutely need to find Shades On from this collection… Such a pretty purple! 💜 have a great day lovelies.

Pink and Purple Drag Marble 

 More purple and pink?! I know, I know… I just can’t be stopped. But it is pretty much my favourite colour combination of all time. 

 

For the mani, the polishes I used were:

  • Quo by Orly Purple Passion
  • Essie The Girls Are Out
  • Essie Good to Go
  • Smallest size dotting tool. 

I’m loving the combo. Both Purple Passion and The Girls  Are Out have such a pretty glitter that compliments the other so well… Like they’re just meant to be paired together in a 1000 manis!
What’s your favourite colour combinations? Pink and purple are pretty much #1 for me, and pink and blue is pretty high up there too. Think I might need to start playing around with some new ones… Any suggestions for me?

Purple and Silver Dry Marble. 

 I haven’t attempted a dry marble manicure since my failed attempted at the 31 Day Challenge last year, so I thought I was overdue for another go! This was actually attempt number 2… My first try was mega nail fail. But once I figured out the technique I needed to use, it was smooth sailing. And you can probably tell by my abundance of pictures that I absolutely adore these! 

  
 
The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • Hard Candy Zombie
  • Finger Paints Wanna Gogh Dance?
  • Seche Vite
  • L’oreal The Matte Velvet top coat.

   
 
I love how different each nail looks. My Husband almost always goes to bed before I finish my nails at night, so this morning I literally shoved my fingers in his face and was like “LOOK!” 

I might need to start doing more of these manicures now that I don’t just make an utter mess! It’s just so pretty– especially all mattified! 

   
 
What do you think of my dry marble? Have you ever gone back and retried a manicure you weren’t so good at the first time? Let me know in the comments! And have a beautiful weekend lovelies. 😽
